Could I have my comments removed? Was that the grumpy episode or what
Still, I agree, e-mail is the killer app for social media and PR.
Cheers and beers, Good for you, Adam

Tend to agree, but I’ve seen good Tweets about who might be on stage (Sam Whitmore did this) and links to other media (Qik for example).

I loved using Utterz at recent Affiliate Summit Boston for a panel on copywriting and lots of interviews (and drinks) w. sponsors. Even better, I was able to just hit ‘U’ on my BlackBerry speed dial at recent “Human Rights and the Presidency” panel at JFK Library and actually listen to remarks and participate.

Adam, I agree with you that Utterz is a better format for live blogging, especially when you can incorporate audio and video. I have seen Utterz live posts of events that have been valuable. To date, I haven’t seen any Twitter posts of live events that have had much if any merit.

Did you get my earlier comment about taking Utterz to events. Seem like a good compromise for you two pillars of our SM/networking community.

Maybe Utterz is the compromise for both of you.
I was at Affiliate Summit Boston http://tinyurl.com/6s6mg8 and a panel on “Human Rights and the Presidency” at JFK Library http://tinyurl.com/59a9g5. I simply hit ‘U’ on my BlackBerry speed dial, recorded, photo-ed, posted and still paid attention to amazing presentations.

Doug – good to hear from you. We should have you on the show one of these days! My point about live tweeting at conferences is that I can’t recall ever reading a tweet generated under such circumstances that was remotely worthwhile.

If you have an example that you can share, please do! Gracias.

You’re still on this “get off my lawn” rant about live-tweeting conferences? As I have said before, I do agree there is a line where you;re not being useful or engaged, but the line is not at “don;t tweet.” For many events, depending on the audience, that audience is looking at collective live tweets to get the gist. Also, a smart audience knows they are getting Cliff’s Notes version. The real secret though? The main value is in the timeliness, not the depth of Tweets.

Love most of the other stuff– especially the first 3 points, as social media cheerleaders in general tend to get ahead of themselves as to adoption– or abandonment– of different communication tools.
